Link is an incarnation of the Spirit of the Hero.
Ganondorf is an incarnation of Demise's hatred.
Zelda is a descendant of the Goddess Hylia.
What the ****???
The former two can keep on reincarnating or being reborn, but the latter can be destroyed. You would think the Goddess would've been the one with the immortality, but no. Yet we're supposed to believe that SS Zelda's bloodline not only survived at least 10,000+ years into the future, but that it will keep going on forever and ever? Demise's curse is supposed to stalk the "blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero" "for all time".
How come Ganondorf just doesn't kill Zelda? He can end Hylia's bloodline once and for all and leave just Link and him to keep duking it out for the rest of eternity!
And we're also supposed to believe that every single Zelda has had at least one daughter? I know having to have heirs is an ancient concept royalty often considered a duty (you would think Hyrule would've gotten past this somehow during the high-tech advanced age of the Sheikah), but talk about ****ed up. The Hero can be reborn in a different body but Zelda is forced to be an eternal baby-maker. And again, if the reincarnation theory is true, that also means the Spirit of the Hero is likely getting it on with all of Hylia's daughters and granddaughters, what with all the romance hints Nintendo likes to throw.
Bloodlines also weaken over time the more and more descendants mate with others and new generations are born. Maybe Hylia's blood has a special property to it that makes it lasting, but talk about another copout. SS Zelda's blood should've long diminished by the time of BOTW. The bloodline concept is a weak explanation.
I just can't fathom the idea that nothing, absolutely nothing, no accidents or choices or events, has stopped the Zeldas from having any kids. And that they will continue to forever and ever?
So here's the theory. Do you think there is something else that gives the Zeldas their power, besides Hylia's blood? Or that Nintendo will eventually add in something more that makes Zelda "Zelda", once they realize just how insane the bloodline explanation actually is? Maybe Hylia passes down something more spiritual to the princesses, not just blood, like with the Links? This whole thing honestly troubles me, so any thoughts about this would be appreciated!
